With Taurus Uranus retrograde in the 12th house, life can feel like ripping an old wound -- the pain of a beautiful, nerdy girl who sat in the front of the class, bullied by the more popular Venuses who sat at the back. She doesn't know why, but she knows the answers without having to study.

Friday's Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius will be the longest and most significant eclipse we've had in 120 years. The eclipse will last roughly 103 minutes, and its path will be flush with the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. If you are in South America, Australia or Europe, you will see portions of the eclipse as well.

Our sky has been busy! Multiple planets are in retrograde with Neptune in station giving us a healthy dose of confusion and idealism as we seize opportunities to recapitulate our life circumstances, as well as a lunar eclipse with Saturn, a Grand Trine, a Grand Square, whew!

Here, we have Masculine energy working within its domains with the Divine Feminine to realize forms within hers. Mothering and softening of the hard edges that we come to know -- these are some of the characteristics of the Sun in Cancer opposite Saturn in Capricorn. During this period, our energy spreads everywhere, showing love, affection, and comfort. If we are indiscriminate, we can get into trouble. Love can turn into lust or the desire to present ourselves in an inauthentic manner, affection can turn into affectation and manipulation, not allowing others to "show up" as themselves, and comfort can quickly morph into stagnation.

We are entering a phase of the liquid Fire, burning Water with its energies powered by Air. Earth is entering the third decan of Gemini ruled by Uranus, we can observe the repeated changes and the stockpiles of insights the Universe has in store for us. In aspect to Saturn which brings stability and lessons over a protracted period, Uranus loses some of its speed and shock factors, and for us in this 3D world, sometimes that is a good thing. Summer has finally commenced, and it is time for us to die -- to peel back the layers and layers that we might have been carrying around with us for protection, especially during our wintertime hibernation. We may need to take it slow with ourselves or others as we share our discoveries and emotions.

Jupiter and Neptune are two planets involved in our grand Water trine, and so questions of loyalty, morality, and the Universal Higher Purpose will come into play here. We are in the second decan of Gemini, and so we will also be forced to get clear on love vs. Love, communication vs. speculation, and so on.

It is time to bask in the warmth of the energetic sine wave and the cosine wave that covers both levels of existence, where the spirit can manifest from both the visible, gross, form-oriented portions of the Universe’s manifestation and the invisible, subtle, magnetic aspects. The meeting of these energies will be responsible for the pull of that which you were hoping for in life, those seeds that we planted in the Capricorn season. This theme catches up with us once again with the Earth grand trine we are presently experiencing. Over the next couple of months, place increasing importance on grounding the high energy that characterizes not only the portal the Solstice represents, but the whole summer season. Now is the time to let your projects “heat up,” and shine so that others can see what you have done.
